if the answer is 'yes' then a word to the wise; their potatoes are HORRIBLE. don't buy them because they're dead manky.
also, a warning about the staff/ customers. I don't think I've mentioned it on here before as I'm not one to grumble and make a fuss, but last week i broke my arm and it really hurt and nobody has sent me any grapes yet or any nice presents. anyway, i was in 'Iceland' yesterday picking up some milk and a kitchen towel and lucozade to aid recovery. when i reached the till, imagine my horror to discover that three people had sneakily taken advantage of the situation and got there before me, meaning i had to queue! well, i did a bit of pathetic, sepulchral groaning, staggered around theatrically, threw some anguished shapes and assured everyone "no, I'll be alright in a minute" but did they say "do you want to go first?" Did they flip! then, to cap it all, this horrible woman made some remark to the effect that some people 'don't know what pain is' and 'they should try giving birth'. oh, the amount of hours I've spent recently wishing i could have labour pains instead of having my poor old arm playing up so! talk about bliss after what I've been through!
anyway: if i were you, I'd boycott Iceland until they change both their attitude, their staff, their customers and their foul spuds.

I don't know if anybody's ever told you this, Dem, but do you know you're really, really funny? Anyway, have a virtual grape (just the one, mind!) on me. * thinks - it might stop him moaning * By the way, it's common knowledge that women are much better at coping with pain than men. * opens up whole can of politically incorrect worms *

I consider "XYZ should try giving birth" to be the stupidest response known to humanity. Women have mechanisms in place specifically to deal with the pain of childbirth (I think they're called "epidurals" or something), and frankly if it were that much of a problem the old hag should never have gotten knocked up in the first place. Call her a whore of Babylon and say you've seen the cockroaches pouring from her foetid, dripping cunny. That should set her straight

what, you broke your arm, dem? when did this happen? how did i miss it? blimey, you kept quiet about it, etc etc.
confess, man, you ere just hoping for an in-store appearance from kerry katona or that one from the nolens (hellfire, i've forgotten how to spell it!) who was married to the geezer out of east enders (i read tabloids but have trouble with names).

Troo - whose side are you on?! You're a woman for goodness sake; you're playing right into the fellas' hands here! Now, we'll never stop Dem moaning on and on about the pain he's enduring ...

You're lucky to have an Iceland, Dem! We've only got a Farm Foods near us... you can't even pop in there without having to navigate round someone whose waters have just broken next to frozen desserts. I delivered triplets in there the other day and I'd only gone in for a Black Forest gateau... Call her a whore of Babylon and say you've seen the cockroaches pouring from her foetid, dripping cunny. Ah, the patter of tiny feet... what a lovely image, Troo. Thank you. I reckon you missed your vocation, you should have got a job writing messages for greetings cards. Oh well, Hallmark's loss is Vault's gain...

No Iceland - surrounded by walmarts, real, aldi and a whole host of the Germanic equivalent. You can relax a little Dem as there are no queuing problems in Germany. Queuing is a concept unknown; leaping in front of you at every opportunity is the norm, and mere debilitating illness does not guarantee protection from this.

We've only got a Farm Foods near us... you can't even pop in there without having to navigate round someone whose waters have just broken next to frozen desserts. I delivered triplets in there the other day and I'd only gone in for a Black Forest gateau... yummy! (the Black Forest gateau, i mean). pulps, if i'd seen kerry bloody katona in there, i'd have happily bust the other arm to be air-lifted out before she could open her gob in my vicinity. I still avoid 'Asda' for fear of micheal owen hurling himself over my trolley, landing headfirst in the fresh grapefruits and screaming for a penalty. why don't they get anyone good to advertise their shoddy wares? if nick cave said he swore by sainsbury's' frozen broad beans over icelands', i'd snap 'em up. when i was with a certain royal mailing company, they spent a small fortune on health and safety video's hosted by incredibly experienced postal workers lulu and bobby davro. after being lectured by the latter on the dangers of crossing the road, i immediately ran out in front of a bus and got killed just to spite the gurning little toe-rag. anyway, back to my arm. i'm still looking pale although i usually do, and i just had a twinge that was like no pain ever experienced in the history of mankind but mustn't grumble .... relax; you've only got another TEN WEEKS of this. chrissie keeps shepherding me into the spare room, plonking me down in front of the computer and telling me to give all my "nice friends" an agony update as she can't take it anymore

woman made some remark to the effect that some people 'don't know what pain is' and 'they should try giving birth'. You should have asked her if she'd ever been kicked in the b*ll*cks Boycott duly in force in Hampshire.

I think the last time I went into an Iceland I walked round and out without buying anything.
And no, that wasn't a confession that I was shoplifting!

I've only just noticed this thread, and for your entertainment (or disgust) I can tell you that my waters broke in Kwik Save in Llandrindod Wells, beat that!
